When we think about the best casinos in the world, we are referring to some of the most famous cities, with glamorous shows, big jackpots, and also nightclubs. While all these makeup for a great casino experience, it isn’t complete without its delicious star of the night – the restaurant.
The best restaurants in the most famous casinos have attracted some of the most respected chefs. While the casinos have been around since the 17th century, a stylish feature as an excellent restaurant is a must.
Either in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Macau, Monte Carlo, or in Singapore, there are fine such places where the players come for very special dining between the gaming sessions.
And the great food is one advantage that brick-and-mortar casinos have over online casinos. Yes, there are bonuses in the online casinos, you can play anytime without having to actually enter a casino, even on mobile devices, and you can access a huge variety of online slots, like the Pennsylvania slots games. You also have live tables on online casinos, but the traditional ones retain their advantages, like the atmosphere, socialization, food, and drinks.
These being said, here are some of the best restaurants in the most famous casinos around the world:
Restaurant Guy Savoy – Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
We cannot start this list without a place in Vegas. You can enjoy both fine dining and a spectacular view over some of the city’s landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower replica. The restaurant from Caesar’s Palace and Casino has two Michelin stars, it serves artichoke and black truffle soup, and it has a lounge for cognacs.
The restaurant is owned by Guy Savoy, the culinary legend of France, so if you are a fan of French cuisine, this may be the best place outside the country to enjoy the chef’s famous dishes.
Robuchon au Dome – Grand Lisboa, Macau
The new world’s gambling capital has a worthy name for this list. Chef Joel Robuchon’s restaurant moved to the 43rd floor of the building, under a glassy dome. The restaurant has three Michelin stars, a massive crystal chandelier, and some extraordinary dishes.
For example, the caramelized quail stuffed with foie gras and black truffle mashed potatoes, along with other French and European dishes. It also features almost 15,000 wines to go with any menu.
The Grand Lisboa itself is the tallest skyscraper in Macau and one of the most beautiful casinos in the world.
Le Tren Bleu – Palace du Casino, Monaco
What do you find near one of the elegant 19th century Monegasque casinos? Well, a Belle Epoque restaurant will be the finest answer. Its name may be French, in the south of the country, but the cuisine is rather Italian: Veal saltimbocca and eggplant risotto, with buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes. There are also Filetto di Manzo al Pepe e Flambato al whisky, and Ravioli ai porcini, Lenticchie e foie gras fresco Spadellato. Dessert? A Meringata al Grand-Marnier will do.
Don’t forget, though, that you are next to a casino, so the roulette tables are near, and always reachable after dinner.
Waku Ghin – Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
When you go in the world’s most expensive building, there it is the exclusive Euro-Japanese restaurant with only 25 seats. The chef is Tetsuya Wakuda, and some of the cuisines include a filet of Tasmanian grass-fed beef with wasabi mustard and Marinated Botan Shrimp with Sea Urchin and Caviar.
The place features also a bar and three private rooms, besides the main dining room. All this comes with an incredible view of the Singapore skyline. The Marina Bay Sands building is an estimated total worth of more than 6 billion dollars.
Bobby Flay Steak – The Borgata, Atlantic City
This restaurant is known for its perfect steak, and it is located in the Borgata Hotel and Casino. The spice-rubbed Southwest ribeye is one of the finest dishes, and the place also has a “lobster bar”, which has various shellfish plates.
Also, do you know that opening restaurants actually saved Bobby Flay’s life? His life in New York was tough after all. At age 8, he asked for an easy-bake oven for Christmas, so that is when it all began. He is the owner and the executive chef at restaurants in New York and Las Vegas as well.
Picasso – Hotel Bellagio, Las Vegas
Having a Picasso named restaurant at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino is a sign of high art and cuisine alike. The place has authentic Pablo Picasso paintings on the walls, and also offer incredible views over the Bellagio Fountain.
The chef of this two Michelin stars restaurant is the Spanish Julian Serrano, who is bringing the French cuisine into this place: Foie gras torchon cones with quince jam, scallop with potato mousseline, and roasted pigeon with wild rice risotto are just some of the dishes to choose from. Add to this the Mediterranean wines.
Other fine restaurants in casinos are Café Martinique in the Bahamas, Pikayo in San Juan, Rockpool Bar & Grill in Melbourne, Besh Steak in New Orleans, La Terraza in Madrid, Capriccio in Atlantic City, or Atlantis Steakhouse in Reno.
